Example sentences for: embryo
How can you use “embryo” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In what is usually referred to as the most famous experiment in embryology, Hans Spemann and Hilde Mangold (1924) showed that a specific region in early frog embryos called the blastopore lip can induce a second complete embryonic axis, including the head, when transplanted to a host embryo.
Examples include the polarized localization of oocyte mRNAs which is crucial for the establishment axis formation in the embryo [ 1 2 3 ] , the targeting of specific mRNAs to the synapses of nerve cells [ 4 5 ] , centrosomal segregation of mRNAs in the mollusk embryo which results in asymmetric inheritance [ 6 ] and the localization of β-actin mRNA to sites of active actin polymerization at the leading edge of motile fibroblasts [ 7 8 ] . In each of these cases, mRNA targeting is mediated by the cytoskeleton.
All hybridizations were divided into either the 'embryo' or 'adult' dataset on the basis of the source of the RNA used in that hybridization.
This led to the altered specification of the anterior-posterior axis and partial loss of the anterior embryo structures.
Tie1 is an orphan receptor, whereas the ligands of Tie2 receptor have been identified as angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and Ang-2 [ 5 6 ] . Ang-1 has been shown to be responsible for recruiting and sustaining periendothelial support cells [ 7 ] . It has been reported that Ang-2 disrupts blood vessel formation in the developing embryo by antagonizing Ang-1-induced autophosphorylation of Tie2 [ 6 ] . Transgenic mouse models of Tie2/Ang-1 result in embryonic lethality due to absence of remodeling and sprouting of blood vessels [ 7 8 ] . The physiologic roles of the Tie2 receptor and its ligands are limited to angiogenic processes that occur subsequently to the earlier vasculogenic and angiogenic actions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors [ 7 ] . VEGF and the Tie family orchestrate optimal blood vessel formation [ 9 10 ] .
